An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for in-situ extraction of oil from oil shale. The method comprises drilling a fluid conduit (114) in fluid communication with a top and a bottom of a target zone (210) within an oil shale formation. The method includes stimulating the target zone (210). The method further includes injecting a heated fluid (122) into the bottom of the target zone (210) such that the heated fluid (122) entrains the kerogen within the target zone (210) into the injected fluid (122) to generate a production fluid (126). The method concludes with producing the production fluid (126), containing the in-situ kerogen, from the top of the target zone (210) to the surface.

La présente invention a trait à un appareil, un système, et un procédé pour l'extraction in situ de pétrole à partir de schistes bitumineux. Le procédé comprend le forage d'un conduit de fluide (114) en communication fluidique avec le haut et le fond d'une zone cible (210) au sein d'une formation de schistes bitumineux. Le procédé comprend la stimulation de la zone cible (210). Le procédé comprend également l'injection d'un fluide réchauffé (122) dans le fond de la zone cible (210) de sorte que le fluide réchauffé (122) entraîne le kérogène au sein de la zone cible (210) dans le fluide injecté (122) en vue de générer un fluide de production (126). Le procédé se termine avec la production du fluide de production (126), contenant le kérogène in situ, depuis le haut de la zone cible (210) jusqu'à la surface.
